Now here are the facts from The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife — and some even stranger than the fiction that’s made him famous.

· He Whistles — No tunes, just a warning to other groundhogs. His teeth chatter, and he can growl.

· He Climbs — If he’s chased, he’ll climb a tree.

· He’s a Sun Worshiper — He crawls out on a tree limb, perches on a fence post or stretches out on a rock to sunbathe.

· He makes a Dull Pet — He eats in the summer and sleeps in the winter. In some states you need a permit to keep him, He like to bite and be mean.

· He’s prone to dental problems — He has 22 teeth, and they grow continuously. Bad overbite problem.

· He wake’s up to mate — That’s usually at the end of February, and not on Groundhog Day.

· He’s Vegetarian — yep

· He doesn’t live with other Hogs — He may move in to mate then leave.

· He is a Home Boy — Doesn’t get more than 50 yards from his den. When he travels it’s only to find a mate.

· He’s homely, but it has saved his hide — His skin has never been prized fur. His hid has been used for boot laces, and before banjo heads were made of plastic, groundhog hides were favored.

More Groundhog Day facts from Groundhog Facts
Groundhog, woodchuck — what’s the difference?
Woodchuck and groundhog are common terms for the same animal, the rodent with the scientific name of Marmota monax. Most closely related to squirrels, woodchucks actually can climb trees and also swim.

What’s so special about February 2?

Celestially speaking, Groundhog Day on Feb. 2 is a “cross-quarter” day, about halfway between the winter solstice in December and the vernal equinox in March, and is celebrated in some cultures as the mid point of winter. It’s not far from the time many groundhogs end their hibernation anyway, around the second week of February.

What’s going on in that burrow?

In the winter, not much. Groundhogs go into profound hibernation, greatly reducing their metabolic rate, and their body temperature drops to just a few degrees above ambient temperature. Because their hibernaculum, the deepest portion of the burrow where they hibernate, is below frost line, that produces a body temperature as low as 39-40 degrees F.
